We’re all DIYers. So, let’s make cables!

The DIY Detachable USB Cable Kit contains all the pieces you need to assemble your own detachable USB cable. Why in hell would you want to assemble your own detachable USB cable? Cuz, it’s fun. And it’s cheaper.

All DIY Detachable USB Cable Kits include:

28 AWG, four-core shielded cable, cut to length

Two (2) USB connectors

One (1) GX16 Detachable connector

Cord

Heatshrink

Pick whatever connectors and colors you want! You can also add double-sleeving material and solder if you prefer (additional costs apply).

Please note: These kits come unassembled and you’ll need your own soldering iron and heat source for the heatshrink (a hair dryer or lighter would do the trick) to complete the cable. And if you didn’t add solder to your DIY USB Cable Kit order, you’ll need to supply your own solder. These are not “No Solder” kits. They are “Solder” kits. You will need solder. And if you burn yourself, that’s on you.

Also please note:If you select an MDPC-X double-sleeving option, we will default your cord selection to a matching/complimentary cord color.

Additionally, in the event that the mis-assembly of a DIY cable causes damage to any device or PC it is plugged into, Zap will not be held responsible. If you are unclear about assembly or have any questions about the DIY Kit, feel free to shoot us an email first or ask around in our Discord.
